Nameplates for Bases?

[rjray]

Kind of curious what others do for getting nice nameplates made up for bases? I had one done up for a British 2pdr anti-tank gun a couple of years ago, and it ran me over $27. Are there places (particularly in the U.S., or easily ordered through on the web) that people go to regularly for this sort of thing?

"Name it" in the uk have a great range of typefaces, colours, borders etc. Take a look at their website. Great service and quality with realistic prices.

I usually order 5/10 at a time to amortise the postage costs.

Prices are clearly shown on the website.

Hey Randy,

I don't know if the following solution is readily available in the US, but it worked fine for me:
In Israel there are printing and laser engraving shops in many towns and cities. I was able to design my own nameplate for a figure (using WORD or PowerPoint), email the file to the shop with size specifications, and have it laser engraved on a small plastic plate with the background color of my choosing (gold/silver/white/etc.). The entire thing cost me 20 NIS - equivalent to about 6.3$

Best,

Benny

If you are happy with computers, you can make your own for minimal cost, and no waiting.

I've made plaques, or labels, really, using Word. I settled on using rubber cement to attach them, through trial and error.
I made labels for my toy solder boxes, too.
The only drawback is needing to print them. I printed them out at work, but now, working from home, I'm stuck because I don't have a printer.
Prost!
